AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The European Parliament adopted its position on a proposed regulation that would suspend parts of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 on imports of Ukrainian products into the European Union.

The regulation aims to adjust trade measures in response to the situation, with amendments to recital 7 and Article 4.

Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and instructs its President to forward the position to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.
